What professional means

Professional
Who is the designer?

For a long time we have been indoctrinated to value more the appearance than the essence, the aspect than the background of things.

To such an extent they have influenced us that we despise people without knowing their worth, just because they look like what we were told they should look like to be who they are.

Thus, for example, it is common in the world of new technologies for the professional assessment of a person to sometimes be evaluated by taking into account their appearance and the tools they use, rather than by their knowledge and skills.

"Professional"

    •

    Definition according to the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language.
